  • Vertical distance, releif energy and altitudinal limits as distinguishing features of high mountains
  • Altitude ; Classification ; High mountain ; Mountain ; Relief
  • Mountain constitute the Earth's third pole, because they hypsometrically repeat the climate zones as far as the Arctic within smallest space. For this reason, the vertical distance and relief energy are characteristic and distinguishing features
  • of any classification of mountains. But when taking such basic features into consideration, geomorphologists, glaciologists and geobotanists have to define mountain-typological threshold values in a new way. - (IfL)

  • Periglacial landforms in the Pohorje mountains
  • Carbonate ; Mountain ; Periglacial geomorphology ; Periglacial landform ; Slovenia
  • Contrary to the well-studied Pleistocene glaciation, periglacial phenomena in Slovenia have been given less scientific attention because they are not particularly evident in high mountains due to prevailing carbonate rocks. This, however
  • , is not the case in the Pohorje Mountains : built of igneous and metamorphic rocks, it was not glaciated due to its insufficient elevation, but was subject to periglacial processes. In the article, some of the periglacial landforms of the Pohorje mountains

  • The dynamics of water and energy fluxes in the high mountains of central Norway was studied along micro-spatial topographic gradients in different altitudes and regions of the Scandes. Landscape ecological processes like snow accumulation during

  • This article introduces an analysis of two examples of cryogenic landforms - a rock glacier and a protalus rampart in the high-mountain zone of the Tatra Mountains. Field geomorphological research and airphoto interpretation helped
  • in the description of substantial forms developed during the Late Glacial, both in the area affected by mountains glaciation and in a non-glaciated area. This gives rise to a question as to which area (glaciated or non-glaciated) was more affected by periglacial

  • This study uses satellite imagery to investigate spatial heterogeneity of forest damage caused by ice storms that affected the Appalachian Mountains, Virginia during 1994. The results display a region-scale (southwest-to-northeast) gradient

  • Two morphotectonic indices (i.e. mountain front sinuosity (Smf) and valley-floor width to heigh ratio (Vf) were measured along the eastern margin of the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley. The subdivision was based on the continuity and trend
  • of the mountains fronts. - (NF)

  • The AA. compare the observational data of pressure and temperature collected at Mt Qomolangma and Mt NQ with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data. The main aim is to verify the reliability of the NCEP/NCAR data in the extreme high mountain regions.

  • Environment ; Glacier ; Impact ; Mountain ; Pakistan ; Pollution ; Tourism
  • Mass tourism in the world's high mountains areas is already having negative environmental impacts. In the case study area of the Baltoro Glacier (Karakorum mountains, Pakistan) the main motive is a view or even an ascent of K2 (8611 m) as well
  • as the surrounding high mountains. The field work carried out was dedicated to pollution sources in the areas, as well as to the pollution rate of the wilder Baltoro Glacier area. - (IKR)

  • Stream geomorphology in a mountain lake district : hydraulic geometry, sediment sources and sinks, and downstream lake effects
  • Channel geometry ; Drainage network ; Glacial lake ; Idaho ; Lake ; Mountain ; Stream ; United States of America ; Watershed
  • Lakes in the Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho, were created during glaciation and the AA. sought to understand how and to what extent glacial morphology and lake disruption of fluxes control stream physical form and functions. First, they described
  • catchments with lakes, meadows (filled lakes), and present lakes. The results suggest that sediment sinks, such as lakes, in addition to sources, such as tributaries, are important local controls on mountain drainage networks.
